Starting to get a little curious to see who writes once in a while... I guess you could call my own stuff pretty wussy/gay/whatever.. but people like it.. Inspirations have been Nightwish and Symphony X (Esp Thomas Miller), to put it short.

I'll post a couple.. tell me what you think... (Hehehe.. I have one with some Rhapsody-inspiration in it as well... It's cheesy as hell, but people have said it was very poetic.. I can post it later on if you want......

---------------------------
Labyrinth
Falling into the black hole
It has begun, darkness awaits
Pale silence no sound is to be heard
It has begun - a struggle for victory
Through the dark corridors

No light to be seen
Stumbling in dispair
No love - Emptiness
Cold slippery walls only to be felt
As time goes by
Numb, cold, abandoned
Alone and desperate
To find a way out

To return to what is seen
Felt and heard - Life
Keep crawling through
The painful hazards of being
Not knowing where they will end
Not knowing when the light is to be seen
When warmth is to be felt again

No more tears to cry
No more pain to feel
All is shattered into emotional debris
Last vaque attempt to succeed
Scream echoes against the cold hard walls
Footsteps slowly fade as the last strength within
Is turned into a rage of frustration
Revalation ahead.. Ahead..
A glimpse of light

Behind the iron bars
Locked up for so long
A new world shall open
To meet my crystal eyes
Good and evil will lurk
Among the dark faded shadows

Clear the iced tears from my face
Watch as they shatter against the cold stone ground below
And melt away in the fate of the star in the blue sky above

Through the tears and the pain
Here I stand now
Free of all burdens
Running towards the sun
Freedom and beauty
Love and passion
As I am running towards the sun
Running towards the sun
----------------------------------------

------------------------------------------
Illusion
Still standing tall
Wondering if it could be
Just another illusion of hope
Or if I am just numb
And don't realize I'm falling

Awake and paranoid
Asleep and ignorant
Self-doubting and analyzing
Eat breathe sleep cry
Frustrations of what could have been

Insomnia-therapy in the shade of the sun
Moments have passed
Not knowing where they have gone
Through the looking-glass that shattered
Broken glass shredding my hands
Everything I touch turns red

As failure closes another door
In this long dark hallway
So many lights have faded
Don't know where to go
Cannot see where I'm going anymore
Don't know where to turn

The wind in my face
A thorn in my side
A chain on my leg
And nowhere to hide
Cold are my days
Lonely are my nights
As I'm sitting here
In the middle of my fright
----------------------------------

------------------------------------
And something I did last night......


Angel
Through the dark eclipse
That shadows my soul
I see you in a heavenly sky
An angel in blinding white
Looking down on me

As I reach for the light
In hope of salvation
While my world is ruined
Judged by my own fears
By own mistakes
By own hand

Hoping I could show you the way
Make you choose the path I travelled
By your side I wished to walk
From where we are now
To the gates of dawn
Through, and into eternity
Never to let you go

A prayer that never came true
Was answered by a smile and a sigh
While love and devotion
Was the answer to the other
By whom you now hold tight

All I can ever hope for
Is for you to hear my cries
Into the grey sky
Swallowed by darkness
Cannot see me
Cannot hear me
Why am I here?

To be by your side
Is all I ever wished to be...
 
Very good! :headbang: they aren't my type of lyrics (a little corny for my taste, no offense) but very very good nonetheless. I'll try to post something that I wrote some time ago tomorrow.

*Warning I don't guarantee that they are good, actually I think they suck :lol: i'm a much better singer/piano player anyway :)*

Impressive!

Unfortunately, the only lyrics I have are "...and the dragon comes in the niiiiiiiiight!" :D

Thanks.. Really appreciate the feedback. (Everyone's) :)

Hey, who says StrongBad isn't a good source for inspiration? :D
*Gets "Trogdor The Burninator-flashback* :lol:


(Oh, and about the cornyness.... I have to add that I am one of those hopeless romantic guys...) :rolleyes:
 
I cant write/read/stand poetry for some reason. I may have gotten this hatred because of my old highschool English teacher. I guess i just like poetry put to music.
 
:lol: I'm sure there are some females around here :D Poetic lyrics in music? Chuck Schuldiner, that guy was a poet in his own right, amazing lyrics. Too bad he's not with us anymore :(
